Description

Off the windswept coast of Iceland, there's a ship with a mysterious passenger on board.

Her name is Thorgunna, and soon she'll be dead. But that won't be the end of her story. Inspired by Iceland folk-tales, "The Waif Woman" is a creepy fable about pride and envy.

It hinges on the deathbed promise the locals make to Thorgunna before she passes.

Once they break it, her ghost comes calling to wreak revenge. "The Waif Woman" was never published in Stevenson's lifetime, eventually coming out 20 years after his death.

It's a sinister addition to his bibliography, especially recommended for fans of Edgar Allan Poe or Susan Hill. -
